A DEED OF BLOOD.

The Anarchists to Idake Things Lively
for the u. 8. I'm 1850.
The secretary of one of the South Ameri-
can legations at Washington, D. c., who
claims special knowledge of the purposes Of
the Anarchists, is being talked about as the
author Of startling letter which recently
appeared over nom de plume in La Trib-
una Nacional of Buenos Ayres. The sub
stance of the letter is as follows:
Secret preparations are being made by the
International Fraternity of Socialists and
Anarchists, who are making ready for a
revolution in the United States in 1880, the
centennial anniversary of the French revolu-
ton. sThe Red International League is a soul
less association of Anarchists, who are now
in force in Chicago biding their time, having
selected the date of the anniversary of the
French revolu ton for their uprising, suppos-
ing that on that day many manufacturers
will close their shops, and general panic
will reign. The Reds are estimated at about
100000 strong, and they expect that by
1889 they will have increased to 1901 600 The
chief of these plotters, in drawing up the plan
for the movement, says the panic will surely
come. On that fatal day explosions will
occur, great centres will rise, and places
where there now only exist a few Socialists
will be converted into points from whence
the Socialists will draw immense numbers of
recruits In these places it is necessary for
the Socialists on the disastrous day to see
that the conservative element remain in their
houses for their protection. In the large
centres more extreme measures will be taken
The Anarchists will take possession of public
points, and hold in their hands the machine
of government. The DEGREES to guide the
Socialists are now promulgated, and will be
executed at once when the time comes"

An Accidental Fee.


! must again quote that venerable
chestnut Of truth being stranger than
fiction, and to illustrate 1t will tell you
q story of a former Harrisburger who
once held a state office and is now a res
ident Of Philadelphia, says I. NJ. Jones
in the Harrisburg Telegraph. he was
lawyer by profession and after leaving
the service of the state he settled in a
county which was then greatly excited
over the discovery OF oil within its
borders. Here he hung out his shingle
and waited for clients Sometimes they
came, but oftener they didn't, and his
funds grew lower and lower until at last
it was a question OF bread and butter
for him and his family. Sitting in his
Office one day with his head between his
hands, bewailing his hard luck and
wondering whether life was worth liv-
ing, not a cent in his pocket and moth
ing to eat, he was disturbed by the en-
trance of an acquaintance who asked
him to draw up an agreement relating
to the lease of some land and the sink
ing of an oil well.
"rll do it if you pay me-" said the
lawyer.
''Now, see here" said the man, "you
know have no ready money, but if you
draw up these papers I'll give you an in
terest in the we'll"
Il won't do it," said the lawyer
bluntly. "You have no money and are
fast on the road to the poorhouse. No,
l won't help you"
'But you must" persisted the man.
"You can do it. 1t won't cost you a
cent, and you must do it. Go ahead,
now. If I lose it is nothing out of your
pocket. Draw up those papers, you've
nothing else to do"
Well, the lawyer, to get rid of the
man, drew up the agreements and took
as his pay an interest in the oil we'll.
What happened2
The oil well was gusher, and the
thick, greasy fluid poured out over the
derrick and made the poor chaps who
were putting down the we'll fairly howl
with glee. The lawyer was on hand,
just as excited as anybody else, and the
very first chance he got he sold out for
SIT, 200 cash. With his money in hand
he fastened homo and told his wife OF
his good fortune and they both rejoiced.
"And, now, mother" said he to his
wife, "let's get of this"
And they lit out for Philadelphia.

cred by an Axe.
Daniel Bresnahan made a desperate at
tempt TO murder an aged and defenceless
woman named Bridget Dolan, who sought to
be a peacemaker, in a room in the top story
of the tenement rookery No. 20 West Ded-
ham street, Boston. The victim of the as
sault, terribly injured, managed to escape
with her life although the chances are more
than even against her recovery. For some
time Bresnahan has been literally indulging
in liquor, and would frequently get into a
row with his wife. These Quarrels, the police
say, have been of such noisy character,
generally ending in blows, that other people
in the house have complained of them, and
asked that something be done with Bresnahan.
Recently Bresnahan came home as usual,
nearly crazed with rum. During the even
ing more liquor was purchased and drunk by
both Bresnahan and his wife. When both
were filled to the fighting point, the usual
family row started up. For some reason
Bresnahan took notion todispose of his sur
plus cash which was 81. 80, and he Il raw it out
of the window. This added to his wifes
wrath, who pitched into her husband
with renewed vigor. Blows followed and
Mrs. Bresnahan got black eye. During the
melee Mrs BreSnahan had her 5-w eeks-old
infant in her arms
Bridget Dolan, SIS years old, who lived be-
low the Bresnahans, heard the fighting and
heard the baby cry as if it were hurt Fear
full that the little thing might come to some
harm, she slowly climbed up the stairs. She
saw the dangerous position of the child and
at once took it from its drunken mothers
arms, giving vent to her indignation in a
few sharp words to Mr.. Bresnahan. With
an oath and the inquiry what business it was
of hers, Bresnahan sprang to the woodbox in
the room, seized q Ratchet and struck the old
lady a savage and murderous blow on the
top of the head. Fortunately, it was a
slanting blow, and instead of crushing
in her skull, it cut the scalp at point just
above the forehead nearly off from the head
so that it hung down like a hood behind
Mrs Dolan, stunned by the blow, staggered
toward the door, and fell in a heap
at the head of the stairway with the baby
in her arms. Mrs Bresnahan sprang for the
child, seized it and rushed back into the
room, fearful that her husband might at
tempt to kill her. But Bresnahans anger
was directed entirely against poor Mrs Do
Ian. He dropped the bloody Ratchet and
gave the groaning woman a ferocious
kick in the side which sent her rolling and
bumbing down the stairs to the foot where
she lay bathed in pool Of BLOOD insensible.
The other people in the house came to her
assistance which was fortunate, as it I'M
doubtedly deferred Bresnahan from killing her
1t was stated that her injuries, while not nee
essarily fatal, might prove so, as Mrs. Dolan
had lost considerable blood, was not strong,
and was quite old. Bresnahan was arrested
and will have to answer for his crime.

Game WantOnly Slaughtered.

If fifteen years ago one had asserted
that today buffalo would be practically
extinct he would have been laughed at,
but the hide hunters killing so to 100 a
day apiece, leaving the great carcasses
of delicious meat to rot, have most eff
fectually done the work. During the
last ten years thousands of elk and deer
have been killed in the west and north
west simply for their hides, while mil
lions of ducks, prairie chickens, quail,
and other varieties of small game have
been heedlessly, wantonly slaughtered
through foolish ambition to make n
large bag. Large bags are now a great
rarity, and strange to say, sportsmen
wonder why it is so.-[Kansas City
